LONDON, UK -- Out British pop star George Michael has signed with HarperCollins to write his autobiography in what the publisher said was one of the biggest book deals ever concluded in the UK. The autobiography, which HarperCollins described as "access all areas", covering both Michael's personal and professional life, will be published in autumn 2009 by HarperCollins in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India, The Bookseller reports. Belinda Budge, publisher of Harper NonFiction UK, said: "This is an incredibly exciting publishing event. George is one of the best known and best loved pop singers in the world, with an extraordinary story to tell. I am particularly thrilled by this deal, as I have long been a fan of George's. Most importantly, this really will be a truly authentic book— and an exceptional one, as he's going to be writing it entirely himself." George Michael's manager Andy Stephens said: "George has promised HarperCollins a no-holds barred biography, and it's certain to be just that. People aren't stupid, they're beginning to notice that the truth is more interesting than the stories the press come up with!" Last update: 01-16-2008 12:56
